Blank Genertation

They say we beenGoing down and going downBeen traveling on the road to nowhereGoing down, round and roundTrying to get to the place where we started

When I was just a boyAt four years old thought the world was joyAs a kid I'd play, just create the dayAs I saw it my way

But time blows by

And strips us down to the bonePoisoned winds of woeTeach us that we'reAlone in this worldWe learned to see all the corruption and greedAll its hate, All it's pain, soA toast to the end of our innocenceA toast to a blank generation

They say we beenGoing down and going downBeen traveling on the road to nowhereGoing down, round and roundTrying to get to the place where we started

When I was seventeenRealizing the world wasn't what she seemedUnderneath the night San Fransisco skyI would see, too clearly

But time blows by

And strips us down to the bonePoisoned winds of woeTeach us that we'reAlone in this worldWe learned to see all the corruption and greedAll its hate, All it's pain, soA toast to the end of our innocenceA toast to a blank generation

So here's to our collagen lips and saline titsTo our growth hormones and antibioticsTo the Hollywood world we made out of Barbie doll heartsAfter we melted them down so we could make a new startHere's to a generation scared and always wondering whyInstead of playing doctor we play shoot each other and dieInstead of ring around the rosie, we play hide from mommyCause mommy's been been drinking again and we don't want to get beatEven with all our tattoos, and all our cheap thrillsThere's still a hole inside of us that may not ever get filledSo we give back a little bit of what the worlds given usGiving back a bit of never giving a fuck

Here's to the justice never dealt, to innocent, proven guiltyHere's to bad cops turning cheeks when real cops are on the streetHere's to the "Rat-tat-n-tat" of gun shots, and your life is shatteredHere's to "Gimme your cash or your brains is gettin' splattered"Here's to mad cow disease and all that yummy MSGHere's to Micky D's serving all those mutant chick-a-deesThis is a toast to celebrate the end of our innocenceThis is a toast to celebrate howWe've become desensitizedIf life is to growSome life must die

We learned to take all the corruption and greedAll it's hate, all it's pain soA toast to the end of our innocenceOur generationWe now embrace all the corruptionAnd greed, all it's hate, all it's pain, soA toast to the end of our innocenceOur blank generation
